When do I use sum = −b/a, product = c/a in Quadratic Equations, and what does it mean?

Vieta's relations between roots and coefficients.

sum = −b/a, product = c/a — Vieta's relations between roots and coefficients. Use it when: quadratic with roots α, β. Always check the condition holds before plugging in numbers.

Key point

sum = −b/a, product = c/a
